We would like to congratulate @UKLabour on winning the #GE24 and look forward to working with them to tackle the poverty premium. Our vision is for a UK where people in poverty pay a fair price for essential services. We hope they can help us make that a reality.

The Financial Inclusion Commission welcomes new Government's commitment to tackling financial exclusion Chris Pond, Chair, commented "We cannot go on with a two-track system with a globally successful financial services sector on one hand, but millions of people who cannot access basic products and services on the other."
